Jeremija 26
1 U početku kraljevanja Jojakima, sina Jošijina, kralja Judina, dođe mi riječ Jahvina.
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, this word came from Yahweh, saying,
2 Ovako govori Jahve: “Stani u predvorju Doma Jahvina i svim gradovima judejskim koji dolaze da se poklone u Domu Jahvinu naviještaj sve riječi koje sam ti zapovjedio da im kažeš. I ne izostavi ni jedne jedine.
“Yahweh says this: Stand in the courtyard of my house and speak about all the cities of Judah who come to worship at my house. Proclaim all the words that I have commanded you to say to them. Do not cut short any word!
3 Možda će poslušati i vratiti se svaki sa zla puta svoga, pa ću se pokajati za zlo koje naumih učiniti zbog zlodjela njihovih.
It may be that they will listen, that each man will turn from his wicked ways, so I will relent concerning the disaster that I am planning to bring on them because of the wickedness of their practices.
4 Reci im: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Ako me ne poslušate da hodite po Zakonu što ga stavih pred vas,
So you must say to them, 'Yahweh says this: If you do not listen to me so as to walk in my law that I have placed before you—
5 slušajući riječi slugu mojih proroka koje vam neumorno šaljem, premda ih do sada niste slušali,
if you do not listen to the words of my servants the prophets whom I am persistently sending to you—but you have not listened!—
6 postupit ću s ovim Domom kao sa Šilom i učinit ću da ovaj grad bude prokletstvo za sve narode na zemlji.'”
then I will make this house like Shiloh; I will turn this city into a curse in the sight of all the nations on earth.'”
7 I svećenici i proroci i sav narod slušahu Jeremiju kako naviješta te riječi u Domu Jahvinu.
The priests, the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah announcing these words in Yahweh's house.
8 A kad Jeremija izreče sve ono što mu je Gospod zapovjedio da naviješta svemu narodu, zgrabiše ga svećenici i proroci govoreći: “Platit ćeš glavom!
So it happened that when Jeremiah had finished announcing all that Yahweh commanded him to say to all the people, the priests, prophets, and all the people seized him and said, “You will certainly die!
9 Zašto si u ime Jahvino prorokovao: 'Postupit ću s ovim Domom kao sa Šilom i ovaj će grad biti opustošen te nitko više u njemu neće stanovati?'” I sav se narod skupi na Jeremiju u Domu Jahvinu.
Why have you prophesied in Yahweh's name and said that this house will become like Shiloh and this city will become desolate, with no inhabitant?” For all the people had formed a mob against Jeremiah in Yahweh's house.
10 Čuvši to, starješine judejske dođoše iz kraljevskog dvora u Dom Jahvin i sjedoše pred Nova vrata Doma Jahvina.
Then the officials of Judah heard these words and went up from the king's house to Yahweh's house. They sat in the gateway at the New Gate of Yahweh's house.
11 Tada svećenici i proroci rekoše starješinama i svemu narodu: “Ovaj je čovjek zaslužio smrt jer je prorokovao protiv ovoga grada, kao što ste čuli na svoje uši.”
The priests and the prophets spoke to the officials and to all the people. They said, “It is right for this man to die, for he prophesied against this city, just as you heard with your own ears!”
12 Tada Jeremija reče starješinama i svemu narodu: “Jahve me posla da prorokujem protiv ovoga Doma i ovoga grada sve ono što ste čuli.
So Jeremiah spoke to all the officials and all the people and said, “Yahweh has sent me out to prophesy against this house and this city, to say all the words that you have heard.
13 Popravite, dakle, putove svoje i djela svoja i slušajte glas Jahve, Boga svoga: i pokajat će se za zlo kojim vam se zaprijetio.
So now, improve your ways and your practices, and listen to the voice of Yahweh your God so that he will relent concerning the disaster that he has proclaimed against you.
14 Ja sam, evo, u vašim rukama. Učinite sa mnom što vam se čini dobro i pravo.
I myself—look at me!—am in your hand. Do to me what is good and right in your eyes.
15 Ali dobro znajte: ako me pogubite, krv nedužnu navalit ćete na sebe, na ovaj grad i na njegove stanovnike. Jer, zaista, Jahve me posla k vama da u vaše uši govorim sve ove riječi.”
But you must surely know that if you kill me, then you are bringing innocent blood on yourselves and on this city and its inhabitants, for Yahweh has truly sent me to you to proclaim all these words for your ears.”
16 Tada rekoše starješine i sav narod svećenicima i prorocima: “Ovaj čovjek nipošto ne zaslužuje smrt, jer nam je govorio u ime Jahve, Boga našega.”
Then the officials and all the people said to the priests and prophets, “It is not right for this man to die, for he has proclaimed things to us in the name of Yahweh our God.”
17 Nato ustadoše i neki od najuglednijih u zemlji te rekoše svemu mnoštvu naroda što se ondje okupilo:
Then men from the elders of the land rose up and spoke to the entire assembly of the people.
18 “Mihej Morešećanin prorokovaše u dane Ezekije, kralja judejskog, i govoraše svemu narodu judejskom: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Sion će biti polje preorano, Jeruzalem ruševina, a Goru Doma ovog šuma će prekriti.'
They said, “Micah the Morashite was prophesying in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. He spoke to all the people of Judah and said, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: Zion will become a plowed field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the hill of the temple will become a thicket.'
19 Je li ga zato pogubio Ezekija, kralj judejski, i sva Judeja? Nisu li se pobojali Jahve i nastojali da Jahvu umilostive, te se Jahve pokaja za zlo kojim im se bijaše zaprijetio? A mi, zar da na duše svoje navalimo tako velik zločin?”
Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all of Judah put him to death? Did he not fear Yahweh and appease the face of Yahweh so that Yahweh would relent concerning the disaster that he proclaimed to them? So will we do greater evil against our own lives?”
20 Bijaše ondje još neki koji prorokovaše u ime Jahvino, Urija, sin Šemajin, rodom iz Kirjat Jearima. I on prorokovaše protiv ovoga grada i zemlje ove kao i Jeremija.
Meanwhile there was another man who prophesied in the name of Yahweh—Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath Jearim—he also prophesied against this city and this land, agreeing with all of Jeremiah's words.
21 A kad je kralj Jojakim sa svim ratnicima i zapovjednicima čuo te riječi, tražio je da ga smakne. Čuvši to, Urija se prestraši i pobježe u Egipat.
But when King Jehoiakim and all his soldiers and officials heard his word, then the king tried to put him to death, but Uriah heard and was afraid, so he ran away and went to Egypt.
22 Ali kralj Jojakim posla u Egipat Elnatana, sina Akborova, s nekoliko ljudi;
Then King Jehoiakim sent out men to go to Egypt—Elnathan son of Akbor and men to go into Egypt after Uriah.
23 dovedoše oni Uriju iz Egipta i odvedoše ga kralju Jojakimu, koji ga mačem pogubi, a truplo njegovo baci na groblje prostoga puka.
They took Uriah out from Egypt and brought him to King Jehoiakim. Then Jehoiakim killed him with a sword and sent his corpse out to the graves of the ordinary people.
24 Ali Ahikam, sin Šafanov, zaštiti Jeremiju te ga ne predaše u ruke narodu da ga pogube.
But the hand of Ahikam son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so he was not given into the hand of the people to be put to death.
